Stories in the Stars from The Observatory Science Centre, Herstmonceux - Herstmonceux Stars NOT Animals

Welcome to the second series of podcasts 'Stories in the Stars' from The Observatory Science Centre at Herstmonceux.

Why do we continue to have a fascination with the stars? The days of relying on the stars for navigation has long since been surpassed by technology so is it partly the mythical stories so vividly brought to life by the imaginary creatures and heroes. 

Listen to Dr Sandra Voss explain how to find some of our favourite constellations as seen from the Northern hemisphere. 

Enjoy listening!

Stories, wonders and facts from The Observatory Science Centre at Herstmonceux in Sussex. There's always more to a place than bricks, tea and space...  The Observatory Science Centre is the former Royal Observatory in East Sussex, anyone involved always seems to have a unique story to tell. Perhaps it's the environment of cathedral size copper domes containing historic telescopes or the sea breeze across the Pevensey marshes - there's definitely a uniqueness.
